Welcome to my Spanish Trails website

Lots of people go to Spain for the sunshine and the beaches. But Spain is full of wonderful mountain ranges, and is a paradise for hill walkers.

I am publishing a series of guide books, written in English, providing walks in several different areas of Spain. The books go under the generic title SPANISH TRAILS. The first two editions, covering the Picos De Europa in the north and the Sierra Almijara and Tejeda in the south, have been available throughout the last year and are proving very popular. The third edition, THE MOUNTAINS OF MADRID, is being published this very week (February 10th 2020)

For more details about my books, including how to buy them, visit the Publications page.

Spanish Trails Book Three

I am returning soon to the Sierra de Guadarrama, near Madrid, to complete my research for Book Three. Few people in the UK have heard of the Guadarrama, so it will be called “The Mountains of Madrid”. I have the help of Tim Price, a young Englishman who was born and bred in Madrid. We …
